You came in second? How did you get so lucky? With my ex-fiancee, I finished after her mother, friends, cat, weed, Netflix account, Andy Cohen, and job. With my ex-wife it was her mother, family, partying with her friends, those do-it-yourself shows, and the Harrry Potter series.
Here's my thing: I don't want, nor do I ever expect to be the absolute center of anyone's universe, but if other things in your life take so much precedence that I am pretty much neglected, then we're going to have a problem.
Boy, can I relate to this. I would have given anything to have come in second. Not long ago I sat down and composed a list of my now ex SO's priorities, in order from top to bottom, and emailed it to her. I came in at a booming #11. Two of her old boyfriends that she refused to stop seeing, her email, cellphone, TV shows, stray cats, stray dogs, other men besides the top two old ones, her grown daughter and grandchildren, and most important of all, getting drunk each night while casting me aside and ignoring me to do so. All of these things were more important to her than I was. I would have accepted being #2 behind only her family, but the others are simply intolerable and unacceptable, and the relationship is over. Now she says that I am being unreasonable and that it is all my attitude and is my fault. Being a part time boyfriend, whom she only pays attention to when she does not have something else with a higher priority is not something that any man should have to endure, or for that matter, any woman if the situation is reversed.
I must say that this is generally my aim. As a gentleman i've always been of the opinion that it's politer if one facilitates it so that the lady comes first.. is that not so?
I have felt as though I was way down on the list of priorities with my then-husband. I also felt way down on the list of priorities with my then-SO.
That just may be what my problem has been. I've always enjoyed helping others and the others always enjoyed helping themselves. Hmmmmm Kind of a mis-match there, huh?
That would have been waaaaayy more interesting. Lol!
